Abstract: | Diffusive behavior in various Lorentz lattice gases, especially wind-tree-like models, is discussed. Comparisons between lattice and continuum models as well as deterministic and probabilistic models are made. In one deterministic model, where the scatterers behave like double-sided mirrors, a new kind of abnormal diffusion is found, viz., the mean square displacement is proportional to the time, but the probability density distribution function is non-Gaussian. The connections of this mirror model with the percolation problem and the statistics of polymer chains on a lattice are also discussed. |
